Thank you !I wish I could take credit for the background design, but it's commercially available Japanese washi paper...I guess I can take credit for choosing the paper & the fragment I used And thanks for the positive comment about the scarabs...I have another idea using scarabs, but it's proving to be a difficult birth...

I took your advice- outside, the sun is shining through high clouds- perfect!...the results were much! better & the crappy pic has been replaced with an image much! truer to the original. Thanks, again.
